A Descriptive Analysis of the Interactions During Clinical Supervision

Abstract

This study intends to analyze some skills trained during supervision. In it we describe sets of interactions (based on the American Psychological Association [APA], 2006 ; competency domains) happened between the supervisor and the supervisee during the supervision process. Interactions from twelve supervisor-supervisee dyads during asynchronous and direct, and individual and group supervision sessions were video recorded for this purpose. The recordings helped to determine, classify, and define behavioral response classes in each dyad’s interactions. Percentages of time spent in each behavior class were computed. A reliability of 95% CI [0.91, 0.95] among observers was obtained. The behavior classes in which more time was spent were assessment, intervention, and conceptualization skills. Behavior classes in which less time was spent were related to emotional and interpersonal processes. These findings are discussed by linking the evidence-based theory on supervision with the time spent in each behavior class.

Exploring the benefits and challenges of administrative clinical supervision in nursing and midwifery

“…Supervising people is a learning process that deals with different kinds of characters and people, so the supervisor develops ways of dealing with such people. Novoa-Gómez et al [27] also revealed in a similar study that supervisors deal with supervisees from different backgrounds, hence, learn to embrace diversity. They however opined that; skills related to the clinical supervisors' duties should be extensively conceptualized.…”

Explanation of medical students' experiences of educational clinical supervision: A qualitative study

“…referred that the most time was spent on evaluation, intervention, and conceptualization skills by supervisors during educational, clinical supervision, and the minimum time was related to emotional and interpersonal processes. [ 26 ] In the study by Del Aram (2006) and? Ghafourifard et al .…”

Adaptation and initial examination of the psychometric properties of the Short Supervisory Relationship Questionnaire (SSRQ) for use with general practice registrars

“…The aim of the current study was to adapt and validate the S-SRQ [2] for use with GP registrars within the Australian GP training context. The relationship between clinical supervisors and registrars has been demonstrated to be vital in fields such as clinical psychology [4,34,35]. The therapeutic alliance between supervisors and registrars in psychology is considered to be analogous to the educational alliance in medical training [1,3,[36][37][38] highlighting the need to consider supervisory relationships in medical training.…”
